Who was qianniu wei, one of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty? Why does Li Yuanfang always show off?
Di Renjie believed very much in Li Yuanfang, the captain of the guard, and would ask Di Renjie every time when he encountered some problems. Li Yuanfang is not only very responsible for things, his martial arts are also very good, Li Yuanfang's Zhengsanpin Qianniu Wei has always made him feel very proud, so in the Tang Dynasty, how great was this official position?
The Sixteen Guards of the Tang Dynasty came from the Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasties, and the Emperor increased the power of the Sixteen Guards so that the central government could concentrate power, and the Qianniu Wei was one of the Sixteen Guards. Li Yuanfang, as the great general of Qianniuwei, could not actually lead the team, and Qianniuwei's duty only needed to protect the emperor.
Li Yuanfang and Di Renjie are both officials of Zheng Sanpin, so the two people are the same in grade, but Li Yuanfang is Di Renjie's subordinate in the play, what is the reason for this? Some people can find that the two words of inspection and proofreading appear in Yuanfang's title, and yuanfang's position can be said to be the boss of the bodyguard if it is according to the grade of the official position, but because of these two words, his identity is only a virtual position, and he does not have the actual sense of power in his hands.
Qianniu Wei can only be said to be a position with more contact with the emperor, and if such a position is put into the army, his role is actually not as great as that of other positions. He can only be said to be a bodyguard who directly protects the emperor's safety and has good kung fu, but he does not have any right to command soldiers and horses, so he does not have the ability to lead soldiers to fight. From the TV series, we can know that Yunfang is actually not the steward of Qianniu Wei, and he will not participate in any court meetings, let alone protect the emperor by the emperor's side, he just simply follows Di Renjie to investigate the case, and it is also possible that the emperor wants to protect Di Renjie's safety, and will give Yunfang such an identity.
Yuanfang in the TV was the first master at that time, every action can see his demeanor, Li Yuanfang is absolutely heartless about Di Renjie, he can even not take his own life for Di Renjie. He is very concerned about his friends around him, and he will always let others praise his identity as a thousand cattle guards, which can be said to be very naughty.
No matter what happened to Yuanfang's body, Li Yuanfang only appeared in the TV series, there was no such person in history, but the position of Qianniu Wei really existed. The Sixteen Guards were slowly defeated during the Tang Dynasty, and the power in their hands was gradually becoming smaller, as did the Qianniu Wei, who later became the honor guard around the emperor.
